SAGE Group announced as dual finalist in Defence Industry Awards

The inaugural award recognises Australia’s top defence industry professionals and businesses, with SAGE nominated for ‘Manufacturer of the Year’ and ‘Defence Innovator of the Year’ for its contribution to the defence industry.

It’s the first such awards program of its kind, designed to recognise leading professionals and businesses, rather than products and platforms, and is open to all industry stakeholders regardless of size or revenue - from primes to SMEs.

SAGE was chosen as a finalist for its work in 2018, during which time it implemented an Industry 4.0 Digitalisation Program. This program included a range of initiatives designed to transform the company into an innovative Industry 4.0 manufacturer.

This has had a profound effect on the business, allowing SAGE to produce a greater volume of work for the defence industry; faster and with better accuracy. As a result, SAGE has been able to defy the widespread challenges facing many Australian manufacturers, by continuing to manufacture high-quality components from within Australia, and even growing its team as a result.
